Four people. Four goals. Four endings.

In the third and final book of the USA Today bestselling By His Game series, the rules of the game no one knew they’d have to play are blurring, and when the past becomes the opposing team, hearts aren’t the only thing at stake of being lost…

Finding naked pictures of her best friend on her boyfriend’s phone wasn’t in Everleigh White’s five year plan. Neither was moving back to Los Angeles, the city of dreams that never managed to make hers come true. There’s only so many years you can be in love with your best friend before you realize he’s never going to love you back, after all. If only her ex would stop showing up at the gym where she works, she’d be much happier.

Being a father at nineteen wasn’t how Reid North, the Vipers’ wide receiver, imagined his life going, but when his ex-girlfriend tricked him into parenthood, he accepted it. Eventually. Now, with his ex on the verge of being released from prison, he’s holding onto full custody of his seven year old son, Leo. Football and Leo have left Reid no time for dating… Until Everleigh comes back.

His best friend his whole life, Everleigh never knew Reid loved her. She left before he could tell her. Now she’s back in front of him, and he’s not letting go. Even if all he gets is her friendship again. But in a city like L.A., dreams come true when you’re least expecting it.

So do nightmares.

With their exes beating down their doors with demands and explanations, their hesitant and building relationship is threatened at every corner. They’re at serious risk of being intercepted by the past, and that’s a ball Reid is determined to catch.

Except desperation can lead to stupidity—and Reid soon realizes he can’t catch every ball, no matter how perfectly it’s thrown to him. This time a fumble could cost more than a few points.

It could cost him everything.

Intercepted is the third and final book in the By His Game series and can be read as a standalone, although it is advised to read Blindsided and Sidelined before, in this order.

My Review:

THIS is why I love Emma Hart! This book is absolutely everything that I have loved about her style of

writing since I first read the Memories Series.

Intercepted gave us more of super hunky Reid and the outspoken Everleigh. They are seriously my favorite couple from this series. Reid is a devoted father in a screwed up situation because of his crazy ex. Ever is the best friend that ran away when her feelings turned into more but is now back to heal her wounds from her ex. Oh, and can I just say that Leo is the cutest kid ever?!

This book thankfully was not focused on the sex which I found the previous two books did. This book had meat to it that I was not expecting but was super happy to find.

I think that Reid and Ever made such a cute couple, and I loved the references to their past because they have always been so entwined. They were the same, but different, perfectly blended so that I felt as if I knew both versions.

I think one of my favorite things about this book is that it took a twist that was totally unexpected and left me reeling. Just when you think the worst has happened BAM something else happens that left me gaping like a fish out of water!
